No. Not unless you force the software to do so:
By default attributes are exposed as environment variables, not as
HTTP Request Headers, at least on Apache httpd.
The documentation explains why. (TL;DR: Because security.)

> Request.servervariables("HTTP_persistent-id")

What kind of API is that?

Also check whether underscores and dashes are not molested/normalized
on the conversion to HTTP Request Headers in some way, so the name may
not be exactly that.

As Scott already told you in another thread recently:
